| Beschrijving keerzijde | A Celticised bull charging left or right, its body entirely composed of bold curved and sinuous lines typical of Kentish Celtic artistic convention. The animal's musculature and form are rendered in an abstract, almost geometric manner, with the body delineated by a series of flowing arcs rather than naturalistic contours. Horizontal line work fills the lower field, possibly representing ground or decorative registers. No inscription or legend is present. The overall composition is consistent with the Cantian bronze unit series as catalogued under ABC 153-156. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Cantii occupied the southeastern corner of Britain — roughly modern Kent — and maintained unusually close trading ties with Belgic Gaul throughout the late Iron Age. Their bronze coinage, including this unit, was almost certainly inspired by continental prototypes circulating across the Channel rather than developed independently. The 'Cantian C' designation is a modern typological grouping; the original users had no such taxonomy.
Exact chronology for uninscribed British bronzes of this period remains contested, and the decade-range assigned here reflects scholarly inference from archaeological assemblages rather than any documentary evidence.
